pears that the liability Of the bank on

Thus showing that there was hardly

On the other hand. on December the

shows on items of cash liabilities as fol-

The statement OF March DIST, l,.j also
shows deficiency as Of that date of So
% o., whereas the statement Of Decem-
Der 3lst. lss6 shows that this deficiency
has beer accounted for with the exception
OF 1881 a. the difference of $500 63
having been accounted for in overdraits;
bv referring TO same statement it will be
seen that s7672 % of these over-dratts have
been collected, and the remaining Sl6-
2-3 10 still stands as over drafts, consld-
cradle part of which is now in process OF
collection with prospects Of being realized
during the ensuing year.
Taking into consideration the condition
of the bank on March DIST 1888, the
general depression of financial matters
throughout the country since, the numer-
Gus failures Of prominent business con
Germs and consequent loss of means by
the people OF this community, the pro
gress of the bank during this period is
unparalleled in the history Of banking in
this portion of the country.

INDIAN SCHOOLS DEMORALIZED.
BOGUS REFORM IN THE SERVICE.

To the Edftor Of The Tribune.
SIR: Superintendent Riley in his report on Indian
schools Just published, says In every possible way
1t was impressed upon Indian agents and superntend
ents that no changes should be made on political
grounds that qualification for the work to be done
and not a!Hation with political party must govern
in the selection Of school employees The employees are
held responsible at the Indian office for the perform
once of their duties and have the assurance that they
will be protected in everything that Is proper ms
sounds well but the truth Il that the agents and super
intendents thus cautioned to make no changes on
noliticM grounds have hardly any power OF appoint
ment left them under this Administration. Most OF
the school employees are appointed directly IRON the
Washington Office, and are persons never known or
heard OF at the agencies Many OF them have had no
knowledge OF Indians or experience IN teachng thein'
They come largely from the Southern states, espe-
cialy from Tennessee and Mississippi and have been
named solely because OF partisan service Ii II Is
good thing to impress upon agents who have practi,
ealy no power in the matter that changes should
be made political grounds" why would It not be
commendable thing for Messrs. Atkins and Upshaw
to act on this principle in making appointments
All through the agencies II is obvious TO any com
pctept observer that the discipline and ec encv OF
The schools have been impaired and in instances
seriously injured by this Washington interference.
The experienced superintendent of the training
school near Salem, Oregon was displaced by man
who acknowledged that he came there BY the muta-
tons OF politics" Tho new superintendent on the
Yakima Reservation, Washington Territory IS plainly
incompetent and the school is in discouragng condi-
ton file worked hard in the Presidential campaign,
he says, making speeches III Iernan anu ishesi anu
he is dissatisfied with his reward lie does not intend
10 follow teaching but expects to 20 into politics"
Many such instances could be cited. halt dozen
strangers arc brought together in the same school
Riyarics spring up especially among the women, and
the schools ore going to pieces while they struggle tor
the supremacy. Efficient cooperation can alone be
secured when the superintendent choose his own
subordnates.
Il il curious observe the extent to which the
agement OF the Indians has come into the hands OF
people who have never bad anything to do with In
dams with public affairs since the beginning OF the
war Most OF these Mississppians and fennesseeans
of any progress i'll Indian administration
during the past twenty nve years They keep repeat
inc the ideas and phrases that current before the
war; many OF them entirely nappcablc under changed
conditions The oxtent OF the decentralization OF the
school forco would hardly be credited and it will
continue to grow worse until radical chang is made
n the present policy {.
